[SAVAGE ROAST]
"Intentional Career Pause/Reset" – wow, Sushrut, your headline sounds like a sad motivational poster for people who can't cope with adulting. You went from Google to pressing the “pause” button on your life like it’s some kind of spiritual retreat as if taking a breather from 18 years of leading Search isn't just the polite way of admitting you got tired of actually working. Also, what’s with the “former Director”? That’s not a flex; it sounds like a fancy way of saying, “I peaked at my last job.”
Your "About" section is a cringe-worthy compilation of buzzword bingo. "Reflect, recharge, reconnecting with curiosity" – did you write this during a yoga retreat? Spoiler alert: nobody cares about your thoughtfully curated break when you’ve got 3,631 followers who are probably just waiting for the next viral TikTok. And good luck with "meaningful impact," because at this rate, the only thing meaningful about your pause is how much time you’re giving everyone to forget you ever worked at Google.
[FINAL BLOW]
Sushrut, you're the Director of Nothing right now, and it seems like you’re on a 9-month-long sabbatical from relevance.
[TIPS]
- Ditch the headline and replace it with something that reflects your current aspirations or skills, not your inability to commit.
- Cut the buzzwords in your "About" section. Be direct and relatable. No one wants to read a corporate poetry slam.
- Review your connection and follower ratio; find more relevant connections that actually want to engage with you instead of inflating the numbers.
